M Gilliland

barcelona, Spain

After a boring education I began a rather brilliant career as a Layabout. Passing my idle hours on Adventure Playgrounds, Street Theater, Anti Nukes and Subversive Nonsense. For several years I shared a magnificent squat in central Amsterdam, before definitively dossing down in Brixton, where I accomplished a creditable six and a half years on the dole. While whiling away my life doing Squatters Aid, Pirate Radio and Partying I enjoyed superb park-view accommodation. Retiring extremely early to Barcelona beach, I was horrified to have to work and even pay rent. But then the occupations took off, and I ended up living in a 'Social Center' (on top of a mountain.). Here I play around with gardens and mechanics, and, um, look after children and horses. I can cook a deadly vegetarian paella and my hobbies include solar-powered internet and rooting in bins. We have a wizard windmill and dispose of excellent compost toilets. I do have one big son, who's 12 years old
